From Times Wire Reports
Mementos of Sioux Indian Chief Sitting Bull were returned to his family at a ceremony in a quiet corner of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History.
“I appreciate from my heart what the Smithsonian has done,” said Ernie LaPointe, Sitting Bull’s great-grandson. “My great-grandfather stood for the freedom of the land, he stood for his people, and he was murdered for this. He stood his ground until the end.”
